Right, well having been sidetracked by school, I've at least posted the character sheet for my vamp. I blame my bloody profs for deciding that they *all* wanted to assign projects right before spring break.

Clown and Copper, regarding your co-prelude - I have followed it and am keen to start driving it in a certain direction, but I want you two to RP out your character's first interactions as you have already been doing.

Vole would obviously know the current Elysiums - there are several in the Manhattan area. The Prince makes her abode in the penthouse of the Stannard Building, a towering(fictional) skyscraper and noted part of the New York City Mid-Manhattan skyline. It is owned by the Prince via one of her major companies, and serves as an Invictus stronghold.

The Angel Theater just off of Broadway serves as another Elysium where Natalia is the Keeper and just about any Kindred is welcome to attend after the last show closes at midnight.

The only non-Invictus run Elysium in Manhattan is the Hemlock Club, which is overseen by an Unaligned Gangrel named Richard Sapho, who is somewhat sympathetic with the Carthian cause. As such, anyone who isn't a big fan of the Prince tends to congregate at the HC.

However, if Vole wants to introduce Auwren to the Prince, the Stannard Building or the Angel Theater would be best. The latter would introduce her to more of Kindred society.

By the way, GIJ00, I did write your character into the Halls of Power prelude, so feel free to describe his inner thoughts, judgements, etc.. even if it's not his place to speak out just yet.

If you get me your backstory, I can start to actually develop something a little more suitable for your character.

Same with Ben Slyth, Krypton, only we've talked about it vaguely in PMs so I'm okay with picking up the pieces as we go - but please do feel free to solidify it. And spend your 35 xp... I think I gave you the chart. Feel free to ask questions.

For those following my prelude RP with Cooper, I hope I'm not causing too much confusion by occassionally mixing in a Welsh word or two. Just a little RP flavor to reinforce just how different his setting is for the newly awakened Arwen.

Ysbryd is Welsh for ghost or spirit, which is the closest translation I could find for the word "Haunt" in the sense it's used for the Nosferatu clan. Hence, Ysbryd is the Welsh nickname for the Nosferatu clan.

The other bit of Welsh I had Arwen spew at Vole when they first met literally translates as "Bugger off, bitch!"

Sorry to have to post this, but I'm going to have to pull out of the game. Commitments off-site will be focusing an awful lot of my time, and so -- in the interest of not holding the game up -- I'm going to take a step back.

My thanks to AoM for the gaming opportunity, and my best wishes to the other players. Game on, folks.

Okay, Vole will be NPC'd and shuffled into the background... sorry to hear about that, Copper. I'll have to tweak things a bit, but it won't be too difficult - I might just combine the three vamp PCs into one thread then.

Question: What do I know about Faith? What is her relative status/reputation?
-----------------------

Faith is a relatively young vampire - not a neonate, but still not very important in the grand scheme of kindred politics.

Ettore believes that Faith is a pawn of the Lancea Sanctum, recently taken into their fold from the ranks of the Unbound. She does not hold any office within the Church proper. To his knowledge, she is merely a trusted representative plucked from amongst the lay folk of the Archbishop's flock.

That is the extent of his personal knowledge, for the unlives of a Ventrue Prince's childe and a Gangrel gutter runner turned penitent Sanctified were separated by many social circles.

If Ettore wished to know more about Faith, he'd have to actively seek the information out.
